Accende lumen sensibus: Organ Music by David Maw
Stephen Farr (organ)
The Harrison & Harrison Organ of Norwich Cathedral
David Maw’s writing for organ displays a remarkably innovative sense of colour and texture, combined with a rigorous compositional discipline, making it some of the most significant – and challenging – in the modern British repertoire for the instrument.
In his latest disc for Resonus Classics, Stephen Farr explores its full range in three major works and two shorter pieces, most of which are receiving their premiere recordings.
The organ of Norwich Cathedral – recorded here for the first time since a major restoration and rebuild by Harrison & Harrison – is the ideal vehicle for these virtuosic works, which explore its impressive resources to the fullest extent.
